Now batsmen use different types of shots to score runs. Suryakumar Yadav is a great example of this, who has put the opposition bowlers in the nose by using his amazing shots. Suryakumar scores a lot of runs behind the wicket and field setting for his shots is also difficult. Like Suryakumar, Usman Khawaja tried to hit a shot in the Big Bash League but had to give up.
Usman Khawaja landed to open for Brisbane Heat. In the fourth over of the innings, he tried to play a scoop shot but the ball did not hit his bat. Khwaja while playing the scoop, ate the ball on his helmet. Please tell that Usman Khawaja tried to scoop the wide ball of Jason Behrendorff.
Scoop shot is a risky job
Usman Khawaja tried to play the scoop shot but it is not such an easy task. Suryakumar does not play these shots so easily. The Indian cricketer has told that he practices these shots in the nets and that is why he is successful in the match. On the other hand, Khawaja is known for playing traditional cricket shots, perhaps that is why he missed while playing the scoop.
🗣 “Good ball!”
